Per Region Qualifier Format the 13’s and 14’s will have a single day event. Since they have less than 10 teams entered, there are formats to achieve accurate place finishes in a single day event. The 15’s, 16’s, 17’s and 18’s all have more than 10 teams so they will have pool play on Saturday which will eliminate teams so that the top 6 teams will advance to bracket play on Sunday.
- 13’s Division Format: 1 teams – 1 Pool of 4 and 1 Pool of 3 teams . 4th place teams in each pool will tie for 7th place. 3rd place teams in each pool will play a placing match to determine 5th/6th place in case of re-allocated bids. Top 2 teams in each pool will play a 4-team bracket. After the bracket play if the 3rd place team has not lost to the 2nd place team in this event, they will play an American bid determining match. This is being done so that the all bids are earned on the court and not because of formatting/scheduling.
- 14’s Division Format: 9 teams – 3 Pools of 3. 3rd place teams in each pool will tie for 7th place. Remaining 6 teams will advance to bracket play played out to positions. After the bracket play if the 3rd place team has not lost to the 2nd place team in this event, they will play an American bid determining match. This is being done so that the all bids are earned on the court and not because of formatting/scheduling.
- 17’s Divisions Format: 11 teams – 2 Pools of 4 and 1 Pool of 3 on Saturday with top 2 teams advancing to Sunday play. The 6-team bracket is a hybrid bracket (see attachment of hybrid bracket) with playback to places. After the bracket play if the 3rd place team has not lost to the 2nd place team in this event, they will play an American bid determining match. This is being done so that the all bids are earned on the court and not because of formatting/scheduling.
- 18’s Divisions Format: 12 teams – 3 Pools of 4 on Saturday with top 2 teams advancing to Sunday play. The 6-team bracket is a hybrid bracket (see attachment of hybrid bracket) with playback to places. After the bracket play if the 3rd place team has not lost to the 2nd place team in this event, they will play an American bid determining match. This is being done so that the all bids are earned on the court and not because of formatting/scheduling.
- 15’s and 16’s Division Format: 13 teams – 1 Pool of 5 and 2 Pools of 4 on Saturday with top 2 teams advancing to Sunday play. The 6-team bracket is a hybrid bracket (see attachment of hybrid bracket) with playback to places. After the bracket play if the 3rd place team has not lost to the 4th place or 2nd place teams respectively in this event, they will play a National and American bid determining match. This is being done so that the all bids are earned on the court and not because of formatting/scheduling.

Changes on BRPL since the first weekend:
1) We received feedback that all the facilities had some issues with overcrowding or delays during the changeovers between waves. To try to reduce or solve that problem, all facilities will start play at 7:30 a.m. and we have increased the times between waves.
2) We are staying with 1 spectator per player as our maximum at each facility. The Champions Center is able to increase their spectator amount – going from the 5 per team of their January limitations up to 8 spectators per team for this weekends event. (More facility details will be sent to teams specifically for each location.)
3) With the 14-Elite and 14-Select divisions scheduled for a Sunday PM wave, and after running quite late into Sunday evening in the January event up in Appleton we have decided to postpone the challenge match for the 14-Elite and 14-Select Divisions. This match will be added as an additional match in the final weekend of BRPL.
- Hotel information for all three weekends is here: https://mmxreservations.com/fer/#/milwaukee?pageCode=2021BRVChampionships. More hotels will be added as they complete required paperwork with us.
- All matches will now be Saturday and Sunday only at the Wisconsin Center.
- The city of Milwaukee has loosened restrictions on spectators. More will be released on this in the near future. The more courts we have in the convention center the fewer the number of spectators will be allowed. So that is the balance we trying to figure out.
- Apparel for this event will be sold online and in-person this year (updated March 3, 2021). The link for this is: https://store.finedesigns.com/midwestern/badger-region-volleyball-championships-dale-rohde-memorial-tournament.html
